Pregnancy.. Too early to test?!

I had the Mirena(iud) in for 3 years with no period. Got it removed in July. Got my first period aug 20 it was light and about 2 days. Got my 2nd period on sept 25th it was about 4
Days.

Was using an ovulation app to track my ovulation days and I had sex during those days, but as you can see my body/periods are not a consisent cycle so I went out and bought ovulation tests. It said I was ovulating on October 15. Had sex that day.

I took a pregnancy test on friday( 10-23) I knew it was very early and can give false negatives .. Which I did get a negative.

Would today be to early to test again? Should I wait until Thursday so it will be 2 weeks? I just feel like the month is almost over and I'm not on my period so I'm either pregnant, getting a very late period or just not having a period this month.

It depends on how long your luteal phase is. 11 days isn't generally too early BUT ovulation tests don't confirm ovulation. They tell you that you MIGHT ovulate in another day or so. Waiting another day or 2 isn't a bad idea. If you can take the disappointment of a negative, test today. I was a test junkie, lol.

An OPK doesn't tell you the exact day you ovulate. It tells you when you might be within the next 12-48 hours. So if you got a positive on the 15th, then you could have ovulated anytime in the next day or 2, sometimes even up to 5 days. So you are probably around 9-10dpo. Implantation occurs usually around 9dpo, and you can't get a positive until after that. So I would suggest waiting a few more days to test.

I was a test junkie too until I gave up ttc and suprise got pregnant after 4 years of trying, I tested 2 weeks after my period was late. If you test today and get a negative I'd wait another week to test again if your period hasn't shown up by then. Good luck. There is a ttc group you should join, and if you get a positive then there's a pregnancy group too :-)
